Re: Iron Man - Mark SEVEN WIP.
Can't bondo foam. The foam is too flexible to support the rigid bondo. Will crack for sure. None of these things harden the foam, they just seal the foam for painting.
Bondo on foam defeats the purpose of a foam build anyway. If you want to sand and have a perfect finish, pep the thing to start with.

That´s right, Shades! It´s a heck of a work, but man, it´s a heck of a lot of fun!
As I had some time off tonight I thought I should give the hands some TLC,and so I did
I found one small LED Flashlight and I felt that it could be a good idea to just make the Repulsors, and some completely random parts later, and with no regards to movie-accuracy at all (I´m sorry if this bugs you guys, it does bug me, but if I were to be un-bugged there, it would be un-finished, so there), I made these:
And seriously, I think they look quite nice, and therefore as soon as I find another flashlight, I will make a second one just like that Luckily it´s pretty easy to come across these
Editing to add some fun facts.
The nicest thing was to assemble the parts that make up for the main center of the Repulsor
So, you see, I had a pill box in metal, another made in plastic, a ring and a pair of Nerdy glasses (which I ... well, mine look better, so I never ever ever wore them)....
yes, never.
So, I got the lid of the plastic box, cut off its center, which was all I needed, took a lens off the glasses, CA glued it all together, then placed the Ring over all to make the design and presto !
There you go Hopefully this helps out anyone in need....

Re: Iron Man - Mark SEVEN WIP.
You know, I´ve been rather delinquent as far as updates go.... however, here I am again...
So, this is what it looked like early this afternoon -
(sorry for the biceps falling down.... )
and this one, just to show the Repulsors, also known as "Stop! Hammer time!"
Now only a handful of things remain. After that picture I have made the forearms, and so I need to make the hand guards, the fingers, the neck, neck brace , shoes and some detail work. Not too long to start sealing then painting
And I´ve already made this week Thor´s pants, Black Widow´s belt pouches, got Hawkeye´s bow , and almost finished Wonder Woman, which I am to send Adam Jay in Australia in a couple of days
One of Black Widow´s pouches -
Tomorrow, finishing Wonder Woman, making some more things on Ol´Shellhead and make more things

Re: Iron Man - Mark SEVEN WIP.
Indeed, not bad at all. Not to be a curmudgeony old man, far be it from me, but considering you´re rather "young" in the RPF, so to speak, I would advise you against doing something like that to another thread. You are fully entitled to start a thread of your own, in so being that you are a member, but this here is called "hijacking" a thread, and there are many people who wouldn´t be as kind-hearted as I am in telling you that, instead they might resort to calling bad names and all.
Again, I would like to commend your efforts, just to say that small tidbit of information that might prove useful in your continuing future on this remarkable place

Re: Iron Man - Mark SEVEN WIP.
You are welcome. This is a tidbit of information that, again, WILL prove useful here. There are some of the old grey wolves like me who aren´t as patient as I am in explaining the young cubs how the pack works. With someone else this might get you bitten
Anyway, I am really glad to see that more people are making it I would issue a few pointers, but considering your build is far too advanced, perhaps I should just hold my peace

Re: Iron Man - Mark SEVEN WIP.
Great job Hermes! loving the progress man a very beautiful build! i kinda need to trim my upper armor parts like yours though, mine kinda looks warmachine like i think yours is more accurate.
a comment on mr. IronLeoMan as well i admit that i was a bit offended as well i thought it was just me but now i knew it was called hi jacking because you did it to my mark 7 thread too and i admit i was kinda pissed. yes it is a very decent build i must say but it would be really nice to make your own thread

Baden, my first suggestion is .... well, I don´t know the colors of red in Phillipines, or even in the US, for I live in Brasil, BUT I can safely say that if you first seal the armor with PVA glue (a lot of it) and cover it in a very dark red, say, Lucifer Red, as they say here, and airbrush it with accents of a metallic red, you can´t go wrong.
